 ardiography has come a long way from its humble beginnings. The additi
 on of M-Mode, two dimensional real time imaging, Doppler, color flow, 
 and now three and four dimensional imaging have all changed the way ec
 hocardiography is practiced. Diastolic assessment and changes in nomen
 clature have even changed the language of Echo. This eight day course 
 covers echo from M-mode to 3-D. After completion you will be confident
  in choosing the proper tools to assess common pathological conditions
  such as valvular abnormalities, systolic, and diastolic function. Dev
 elopment of a consistent protocol is mandatory to avoid missing pathol
 ogy and our scan lab with state of the art equipment and low student i
 nstructor ratios will give you the time and opportunity to practice, p
 ractice, practice. Objectives At the completion of this course, the le
 arner will be able to: • Explain normal cardiovascular anatomy and p
 hysiology and relate cardiovascular functions to disease. • Discuss 
 cardiac mechanical and electrical physiology and relate this informati
 on from the echocardiogram to the basic electrocardiogram. • Operate
  several ultrasound units for the production of 2-D, M-Mode and Dopple
 r echocardiograms. • Perform an echocardiogram using the protocol de
 fined by the American Society of Echocardiography, i.e. parasternal lo
 ng and short, apical 2, 4, 5, and long, and subcostal long and short a
 xis. • Quantitatively analyze the results of 2-D and M-Mode echocard
 iogram. • Analyze the results of an echocardiogram for normal versus
  abnormal findings. • Analyze echocardiograms for common cardiac pat
 hologies. • Identify and resolve basic technique and equipment probl
 ems that interfere with the quality of studies. • Define the clinica
 l responsibilities of an echocardiographer who is confronted with sign
 ificant clinical findings. • Conduct a basic patient history and ass
 essment that relates to interpretation of echocardiographic findings. 
 • Operate several cardiac ultrasound instruments and apply various t
 ypes of cardiac Doppler; pulse wave, continuous wave and color flow ma
 pping. * Describe the normal cardiovascular blood flow through the hea
 rt and the great vessels as defined by Doppler velocity measurements a
 nd profiles. • Quantify Doppler findings in echocardiography. • An
 alyze common cardiac Doppler findings for common cardiac pathologies. 
 • Identify the diseases or cardiac pathologies that require definiti
 on by Doppler examination. Course Topics • Ultrasound Physics and In
 strumentation • Cardiovascular Anatomy and Physiology and EKG • Eq
 uipment Orientation • Anatomy and Physiology and Cardiac Catheteriza
 tion • 2-D Imaging • M-Mode • Acquired Heart Disease • Congeni
 tal Heart Disease • Doppler Instrumentation and Controls • Doppler
